The two themes for this week's X Factor semi-final have been revealed.

For their first song, the final four will perform tracks from the Motown back catalogue. The second song each act performs will be 'The Song To Get You To The Final'.

How will The Song To Get You To The Final Theme work?

I guess it means they can choose any song they want. One that would suit them the best.

[Jordan.]

Good second theme.

Thanks,I think that will bring out some break out performances that ive been waiting for then.

[Kate!]

This sounds really good Visage

Its good when the contestants sing what suits them best as individuals. Hopefully there will be some good performances, Locke usually posts song choices ahead of the show as well.

[MusicXian]

In the final hope they bring back the 'best performance' theme singing song they got most praise for earlier in the show. What do you consider their best?

Amelia - her comeback song.
Misha B - Rolling in the deep.
Marcus - Reet Petite
Little Mix - ET

[Strictly Jake]

I think their best performances have been: amelia- China in your hand. Misha-Rolling in the deep. Marcus- reet petite. Little mix- Dont let go

[abcd]

im pretty sure this is going to be a new song choice of there own, not a previously performed one!

[Ninastar]

[Z]

I'd expect to see Little Mix perform something that will appeal to a young audience for their second song (Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna songs have all fallen under that category.) The theme suits Marcus and Misha so I think Amelia's probably going to go this week.

[Kerry]

Oooh I like Motown. The second could be anything really

Wonder if any will do Jackson 5

[zoebug]

Amelia would be very good at doing... You Wanna make me Shout

is that Motown ... Little Richard, Isely Brothers, Cilla Black

[zoebug]

Misha's R.E.S.P.E.C.T. at her audition was awesomely fabulous

[Incensed]

Soul is gonna be soo good for Misha!

Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Signed, Sealed, Delivered
Upside Down (Inside Out)
Needle In a Haystack
Heaven Must Have Sent You
I Heard It Through The Grapevine

Any of those for me

[zoebug]

As for Misha's other song she could do any of these 3 classics ... filmed before she was on X factor

[reece(:]

i'd love amelia to do ET again

[MusicXian]

They will completely do a hatchet job on Amelia this week I am sure. On first, a stupid VT, crap judges comments about song choice and maybe saying she shouts again amongst other things. Still I think Amelia could survive it despite a possible sympathy bounce for Misha

[Marc]

Fair enough for the second theme but Motown is a little bit bias toward Misha and Marcus

[Marc]

@ your avatar Visage

[joeysteele]

I expect Marcus to shine this week, since it now appears there may be no sing off this week now, there will be likely stops pulled out to help Misha stay in too.

On paper though, there should be a good set of songs as long as they don't just repeat motown weeks of the past,particularly though the song they have to choose themselves,they should all be really strong performances.

[Arneldo]

Ugh. They are basically handing Marcus the prize.

[dannyboy]

Hmm, the theme suggests they're trying to push Amelia out next. General motown would suit Misha's voice more than Amelia;s (though Amelia's retty versatile!) can we please not vote for Misha either, had enough of her now!
